Sustainable use and development of watersheds: Proceedings of the NATO SPS (NFA) 5th Workshop on Sustainable Use and Development of Watersheds for Human Security and Peace; Kumburgaz, Istanbul, Turkey; 22-26 October 2007

The NATO-SPS (NFA)Workshop provided participants with an excellent opportunity to develop understanding and skills in scenario-based decision-making management of watersheds. Participants from 21 countries exchanged knowledge on how to use advanced tools for assessment and decision-making that provide the ability to manage watersheds. Participants benefited from applying the sustainableuse and development models to minimize and mitigate effects on the natural capital of water resources, watersheds, and thus socioeconomic systems. This ledto recommendations based on ‘ecosystem approach’ for decision-making for protection of human security and peace. Further, group sessions resulted in the identification of Terms and Principles as well as the recommendations for application and implementation of sustainable use and development practices in developing countries. The program of the Workshop was challenging by embracing a ‘hands on’ learning experience.
